The case in summary In a recent survey, 33 per cent of children and young people answered that their parents know little or nothing about what they do on their mobile or PC. The survey was conducted among 6,000 children between the ages of 10 and 13 in Vestfold and Telemark. Most children are on screens between two and four hours a day outside of school hours, and almost every fourth child spends more than five hours. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAi. The content is quality assured by news’s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. Thea Christina Tellevik \u2013 You should perhaps ask the children what they are watching every once in a while to get an overview, says Thea Christina Tellevik.Leon Eidsmo Schj\u00f8ll \u2013 It differs from parent to parent. Some have a little more control than other parents. Jenny Snekkestad Malmin \u2013 Some are stricter than others. My parents are not that strict, but I have parental controls on my mobile and they follow along. The three 7th graders news meets at Byskogen School in T\u00f8nsberg are taking part in a new and unique survey. Among other things, they have answered what parents know about what they use their mobile phone and PC for. – Some people think they have control, even if their children are on, for example, YouTube and look at completely different things than what their parents think, says Thea Christina Tellevik. Answers about the relationship with their parents In the recent Ungdata plus survey, 33 percent of children between the ages of 10 and 13 answer that their parents know little or nothing about what they are doing on screen. 6,000 children and young people participate in the survey, which is carried out over a period of 20 years in Vestfold and Telemark. The survey is unique in a national context, says Mari Nicholls Espetvedt. She is an advisor for public health in Vestfold and Telemark county council. – Although the survey was carried out in this region, the results will be interesting to look at for the rest of the country as well, she says. Facts about Ungdata plus 6,000 children and young people between the ages of 10 and 13 in Vestfold and Telemark have for the first time answered questions about free time, quality of life, friends, family and local environment. The survey, called Ungdata plus, is new and unique in a national context. These children must be followed with repeated examinations until they are in their late 20s. In this survey, 85 percent answered that they were mostly satisfied with themselves. 86 percent like themselves the way they are. 9 out of 10 have friends they really care about. The boys are mostly slightly more satisfied than the girls. The survey is a collaboration between Vestfold and Telemark County Council, the University of Southeast Norway, the Welfare Research Institute NOVA at Oslo Met and KORUS south. The parents learn less about screen use the older the children get: In the 7th grade, 41 percent answer that the parents know little or nothing about their screen use. Senior adviser in KORUS south, Ingvild Vardheim, says the survey indicates that the children have very close ties to their parents, but a little less when it comes to screen use. Photo: Per Stian Johnsen – Our impression is that parents have a fairly good overview of who the children are with and where they are. It looks a little different when it comes to life on screen, says senior adviser in KORUS south, Ingvild Vardheim. The answers may indicate that the parents do not have as good an overview as they think, the researcher points out. – It could be interesting to ask the parents the same thing. I think perhaps that some parents have a little less insight into what their children do on screen than they think themselves, she says. Amelia Mae Corrie, mother of a girl (10) \u2013 I would like to think we have a pretty good overview, but we don’t get everything. It is important to follow along. The times I realize that she has watched an inappropriate music video, for example, I speak up. Jan-Erik Andersen, father of boy (10) and girl (13) \u2013 We have pin codes and can log in. We get to look at chats and get access when we ask. Suddenly, things can appear that happen at school, and then it is important that you follow along. I think more and more parents are becoming more aware of that. Thale Holm, mother of a boy (13) – Yes, I have parental controls. There I keep track of which websites and apps he uses and downloads. He doesn’t get to download anything unless I approve. How much do you follow what your child is doing on the screen? I ask and check their mobile regularly to find out what they use it for. 100% I have a certain overview through talking to the child, but do not check 0% I never check. 0% The poll is closed. 1 votes in total According to the survey, most children are on screens between two and four hours a day outside of school hours. Almost every fourth child spends more than five hours. Screen use has increased every year since 2010, but the two years of the pandemic have reinforced this, says Vardheim. Sharing nude pictures SLT coordinator in Skien, Natasha Ferguson Finseth, is not surprised by what the survey shows. She and the police hold parent meetings at schools on the topic. They find that many parents are not aware of which social media their children are on. – They think that the telephone is a great tool for communicating, but then they forget the world it opens up to, she says. SLT coordinator in Skien, Natasha Ferguson Finseth, believes parents should become more aware of what their children are doing on mobile phones and computers. Photo: Nils Fridtjof Skumsvoll \/ news The sharing of nude pictures starts as early as 4th and 5th grade, but there are also examples as young as 6-7 years old, says Finseth. It is not common, but the tendency is clear, she emphasizes. – They may experience it as an innocent act that they do not think through. Our fear is that they can become easy victims of adults who do not want them well, she says. TikTok, Snapchat, Roblox and Fortnite are channels that adults easily come into contact with children via chat, and can exploit by purchasing content. – We find that the naivety that parents have with mobile phones is about a lack of knowledge, she says.
